The Rebirth of a Tyrannical Empress, Season 1

by S.YANG, miraenavi

After downing one too many glasses of wine one night, Songha wakes up inside the world of her favorite novel as Empress Yulia. But being given the reins to an empire isn’t as exciting as it seems—the tyrannical Yulia will soon meet a bloody fate at the hands of the captain of her personal guards, Justo. Songha must think of a way to reverse the events that lead up to the coup d'état, which will take place in just three days. She chooses to use warmth and benevolence to reach out to a group of loyal subjects Yulia exiled, but will her strategy be enough to win back the people’s trust? Or will the empress’s sudden change in behavior raise even more suspicion among the rebels?

It’s like a 2.75 stars, the ending was horrible, I wanted more romance, and at points the translation was so bad that I didn’t even know what my name was, the art was OK, the main character was confusing at times, and all of the““love interests” were so bland and I felt like they had no personality, except that they were devoted to the Empress because of reasons I don’t even know honestly. 149 chapters for that ending, I am not pleased, I am not happy.

I’ve Become the Villainous Emperor of a Novel

[Selenita · Rating 4 out of 5]

Estoy encantada con este primer arco. Me encanta que sea una mujer la emperatriz guerrera y las más fuerte sin nada de machismo juzgando que no es como las demás chicas o que no vale para su puesto por mujer o similar. Por lo que se ve en el mundo hay igualdad, así que genial. Amén de que la protagonista es carismática y tiene justificada confianza en sus habilidades, pero también se esfuerza para hacer bien su trabajo y sabe mantener el tipo bajo presión. Tiene pinta que en los siguientes arcos va a ser un harem reverso, pero no me importa mientras el romance no se coma la trama política, que puede dar mucho de sí. Además, ¡aleluya!, la protagonista no es una lerda incapaz de darse cuenta de que se está montando un harem. Sabe perfectamente que su capitán de la guardia tiene sentimientos por ella y que le gusta mucho a su mago principal (si bien de momento en este caso son más bien sentimientos de admiración que de amor). No anima a ninguno de los dos porque no está interesada y no quiere darles falsas esperanzas.

Por cierto, el dibujo me gusta, lástima de los añadidos virtuales en 3D que sobran mucho y quedan fatal.

3.7

Webcomic de transmigración donde nos presentan a la emperatriz “Jim” de un gran imperio recién formado y frágil, en especial por la locura que achacaba esta mujer, y es justo ella quien nuestra transmigrador se convierte y debe solucionar todos los errores que ha hecho.

Entretenido, sin interés amoroso claro (ML), mas centrado en el manejo del imperio y del secreto que ocurre con un antiguo enemigo conquistado.

El arte del dibujo es lindo, dándole su toque en las pestañas de la MC, un efecto que lo hace ligeramente diferente.

Первые главы отлично, пока ГГ разруливает первый кризис, а потом как-то пробуксовывает (но может еще раскачается)

Overworked office clerk Songha awakens in a foreign body after a night of heavy drinking. It doesn't take long to discover she has taken over Empress Juliet three days before she is slated to be killed in a rebellion. This young ruler had united several countries through battle and subjugation but spent the last few years living as a tyrant and the captain of her body guards, Eustus, has decided to end her madness. With limited time, Songha/Juliet decides to take extreme measures to repair old relationships, stabilize the country, and root out corruption using what she knew about the novel. Sadly many things were not discussed in the text and no one seems to trust her.

This one embraces the traditional isekai setup and provides a harem of beautiful suitors. I appreciate that it focuses on reforms and administrative tasks as the foundation to fixing problems rather than standard battle tactics and face slapping melodrama. It layers in ancient magic, explains the time looping mechanics, and eventually concludes its narrative. Still it is not without flaws. First they main character has too strong of powers and plot armor to feel like there is any tension in her circumstance even when facing war. Everyone loves her basically and mostly for stuff that happened outside of the presented panels. Further perhaps because of the complicated narrative, the story often felt choppy and oblique in nature. For example, she will appoint a title to one person and the nobles will start ranting about her bias favoring a nation. Logically she would have more than one official in a realm so their argument makes no sense. If they had personally attacked the individual she chose or waited for more appointments that would be more logical. We are missing explanations and nuance on key areas. The main points are fine, but the execution is mixed.

⭐⭐⭐ 3.5 / 5
Al inicio me pareció bien la historia y a como iba avanzando me estaba gustando mucho

Casi al final explican como sucedió todo y al no le entiendi en un principio pero a como iba leyendo le iba agarrando pero le vi que buscaron una solución un poco extendida a algo que pudieron hacerlo simple.

Reconozco que tuvieron la audacia qué crearlo así y me agrado pero me confundió aun así no negare que en gusto ese final
WTF!!!!
Obviamente esta inconclusa y espero seguir sabiendo más sobre la historia

Read this a while back, and found it again and then realized I'd forgotten to log it here. Didn't get past the first season.
When I first read this it was fine and I stopped to catch up on other things. Forgot I was reading it and then came back to it a couple months ago. Reread it and have discovered there are better stories for me out there.
The art was fine and the story started off okay, but it's not enough to keep my interest. I read until a little after the trial of the man who was drugging her and couldn't be bothered to continue.
So recommended? Nah, not really.
Buy/borrow? it's free online through various webtoon sites.

I actually have a high expectation from this story especially the Duke of Paes art since we were introduced to an Isekaid Empress badass female lead. The first arc was so beautiful as we can see how strong and powerful the female lead is, she is also smart and can easily sense the people around her. We were also introduce to the three male leads which helped the female lead with his duties as an empress. But after the first arc, the story went down. The pacing became so slow and some of the chapters are messy. I tried giving this manhwa a chance since the plot is very exciting, but the pacing really ruined this manhwa for me that I decided to drop it.

Since this was one of the recommended books, I read it. OMG, the Empress is just so handsome and charismatic. If she had short hair, I think everyone would mistake for a male. Just like the title, a reader became an empress of a novel. Apparently the OG Empress has lost her mind because of drugs and alcohol. And she killed her subordinates. Thus there was a rebellion. This story is new, so about 30 chapters rn. It's not boring, but the formula is quite similar to other stories like this.

[hesione · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beginning was slightly choppy and obviously the psychology isn't fleshed out to a point where I suspend disbelief, but it goes quickly to the satisfyingly-executing-her-job rooting-out-corruption-and-making-use-of-her-administrators'-talents portion of the story, which is what we all crave in an isekai. Bonus for no romance (so far).

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Otomi isekai in cui un'impiegata d'ufficio si risveglia nei panni dell'imperatrice squilibrata protagonista del suo romanzo preferito.

Punti a favore:
- "Strong female lead"

Punti a sfavore:
- al momento la trama avanza quasi come se non ci fosse una trama

Ma immagino con i manwha/webtoon si debba fare il callo a questo tipo di... plot.

[Greendaze · Rating 3 out of 5]

Status: 46 episodes completed. Reverse harem, focus seems to be on Empire administration so far, but the translations are awkward so I'm dropping this.

Story Line: After a night of heavy drinking, I found myself transmigrated inside a novel as the villainous Empress Yulia, who will be executed for treason in three days by someone she one trusted.

This is a project to find a way for the workaholic empress to live, to exact her revenge and prevent treason from happening. Will I be able to become a good and wise ruler? The constitution of an unexpected empress.

The turbulent reign of the straightforward and gentle looking, but iron-fisted Empress Yulia.
